Awesome power supply! Easy to set up and use!
Pros: The modular design lets you only use the number of cords you need. Easy installation and fits well!
Cons: Absolutely none! A must-own!
Good for a starter tower
Pros: It comes with a pre-installed fan, and plenty of space to install equipment into your rig.
Cons: The front USB jacks are not very reliable, so ended up getting a USB hub and running everything off of the motherboard. The fan is somewhat loud, even though it does have an LED on it. The power supply will not hold up for running a lot of components, so had to swap it out for a beefier, modular PSU.
Overall Review: If you don't want to spend a lot of money, then it's not too terribly bad, but if you have other options, you may want to spend a few more bucks and get something with more options.
Keeping your CPU chill....but is NOISY!!
Pros: Easy to install once you get the cooler block on the CPU mounted (use good paste!) Works as described Lowered my CPU temperature by 20-30 degrees! Comes with extra screws in case you want to mount another fan on the radiator for a push-pull flow through the radiator itself.
Cons: -If you order this from HQMade, expect a lengthy shipping process, as it's coming from Guangzhou, China. -After LESS than ONE YEAR, the pump is making LOUD noises! From a brand such as Cooler Master, I expected a LOT better than this!
Overall Review: Don't touch this one if you want something that lasts for a CPU cooler, as the CPU pump is junk!
THE best bang for your buck! So many options!
Pros: - EASY to use dust filter on the bottom that slides out. - Very user-friendly for removing cages you don't intend to use. - The SSD sled mounts on the back are a very nice touch, and allows you to mount two out of the way. - You can have up to 8 hard drives in the case, but you can remove 5 of them for better airflow. You can even remove them all if you want to do a good sized watercooling loop. - Modular vents in the top so you can use as many or as few as you want. - Grommets to feed cables through to hide what you don't want showing.
Cons: - USB 3.0 header cable is loose when trying to insert into motherboard. - Needs grommets above the power supply so you can route cables up to the bottom of the motherboard for micro-ATX boards. - After a little while, the 140mm fan on the back started making some noise, so may end up swapping that one out for a quiet fan that doesn't make noises.
Overall Review: All in all, I am VERY happy with this case. The blackout color is nice, along with the HUGE window to show off my build. I will be sure to use this case in future builds, as I prefer a case that still has optical drive cages, but you can remove them if you change your mind. I would have liked to have an option to hide the power supply, but I know that's for full ATX cases. I wouldn't take any eggs off for any of that, as I highly recommend this case to anyone who wants to make a build worthy of showing off.
Good and beefy, but works up a sweat!
Pros: Runs everything well in both Windows 7 and 10 with no noticeable issues. Includes on-board graphics for starting out, so unless you use intense graphics, then it's all in one.
Cons: This CPU runs hot, and bubbled/burned/melted away the original thermal paste. Went to a self-contained liquid cooled loop system with radiator, and now it purrs like a kitten!
Overall Review: I would either make sure you reapply some GOOD thermal paste onto the CPU, or better yet, get a better fan than the stock one that it comes with, to avoid any temperature issues.
Great foolproof RAM module. Easy to setup and use. Works great!
Pros: Received the module in quick fashion Installs very easily into compatable motherboards
Cons: No cons that I can find about this product!
